I'm
not sure that most food companies understand why people consume alcohol.
While I think there are a very few people in the world who enjoy alcohol
for the flavour, I think the vast majority enjoy alcohol for the buzz.
I don't think that food companies understand this because they keep
making foods that taste like booze, but don't have any of the side
effects. This is where this Kit Kat bar fits in perfectly.

The minute you open the
package you get a very boozy smell. It's a smell that hits you and
makes you wonder if they actually may have soaked a Kit Kat bar in
Sake. The strange thing is that the first thing I got when I bit into
it was white chocolate and cherries. It takes a few crunches and then
you get that boozy flavour in the back of your throat and through
your nose. You never seem to taste the booze, but you can certainly
smell it. It's not a horrible flavour, either the white chocolate
and cherry or the boozy aftertaste. I'm just not sure if I could say
that I really love it either.

This is certainly a fairly
creative flavour idea. I'm not sure how well they pulled off the sake
experience, but they did make an okay bar. It might have been better
if it wasn't so creamy, if the booze and cherry flavour could have
been brought forward a little more. Even better though would have
been to go a completely different direction. Why not make a sake that
tastes like Kit Kat bars, instead of Kit Kat bars that taste like
sake. That would have been something really creative and different,
I don't drink so I don't know if I would have ever tried it, but I
would have given them big points for creativity.
